Global burden of trichomoniasis: current status, trends, and projections (1990-2021).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Trichomoniasis one of the most neglected sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), imposes a significant global disease burden. This study aims to assess the burden and trends of trichomoniasis from 1990 to 2021 and to project its incidence from 2022 to 2050.

Methods

This study utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 study for secondary analysis. We determined the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of trichomoniasis by sex, age, and socio-demographic index (SDI) level. Changes in burden trends across sex and age were explored from 1990 to 2021, using joinpoint regression. The incidence of trichomoniasis was projected for the period 2022 to 2050, using R software.

Results

From 1990 to 2021, the estimate
